Pros

Great work/life balance and everyone is very nice. The work can be rewarding and interesting. The company has a great reputation in the corporate world which is helpful when telling people where you work and applying for later jobs.

Cons

Because of the tendency towards "niceness", it can be difficult to understand what people really think and what is actually happening. All work is done by the managers and analysts - leaving a lot of time for many levels of "management" to talk about the work and change it around.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
